Interview with nurses
An interview of members of the nursing team at Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital who cared for Courtney Sprenkle-Shelly, the Waynesboro teen who died Dec. 2, was conducted by Elvis Duran, host of the nationally syndicated Elvis Duran and the Morning Show in New York. Locally, it was broadcast Dec. 7 on 92.1 FM
The nurses arranged a dream wedding for 19-year-old Courtney, who had been battling acute myelogenous leukemia for nearly two years, to Scott Shelly at the hospital Nov. 10.
The couple had postponed their planned 2013 wedding indefinitely when Courtney suffered another setback. When the nurses learned of this, they made all the arrangements for the wedding and reception, securing donations from area businesses.
Courtney died peacefully surrounded by her husband, her family and a few close friends. She was the daughter of Charles “Pete” and April Sprenkle of Waynesboro.
Wildlife photography contest
Megan Schmidt, a junior at Waynesboro Area Senior High School, recently was awarded third place in the nature photography contest of the Tuscarora Wildlife Education Project in Mercersburg.
The Charles Brightbill Environmental Center, home of TWEP, is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating today's youth about wildlife resources.
The photo, “Pinecone,” was taken at Renfrew Park during an outing with Megan's Art III class. Raymond Gehman, National Geographic photographer and Waynesboro resident, accompanied the group. Megan has been a member of the National Art Honor Society chapter at WASHS for three years.
